Oil Aid Plan Aims At Lower East Coast Prices
Washington reports a government move to draw more heating oil from abroad to the East Coast without raising prices. A cost sharing scheme by the Federal Energy Administration could cut New England and Middle Atlantic fuel costs if winter remains cold. Residential heating oil averaged 45.2 cents per gallon in the Northeast for the week ending Jan 29, with inventories 15 percent below last year. The plan includes a FebruaryMarch entitlement of 2.10 dollars per barrel for Northeast importers, intended to flow as a savings to consumers.
